Pioneering Czechoslovakian artist Alphonse Mucha (1860 – 1939) created a sumptuous Art Nouveau style filled with soft colors, curving lines and ethereal women. Mucha was inspired to paint by the artwork he saw in churches. A starving artist in Paris, Mucha skyrocketed to fame after he created a life size poster for Sarah Bernhardt’s play, “Gismonda.” The poster, which differed from current artistic trends, made him a household name and earned him a six-year contract from Bernhardt. In the 1960’s, Mucha’s style was revived, especially in psychedelic posters.

The quality of the poster is good and the paper is thick. It's good quality, especially for the price. One thing I'm not too keen about is the amount of white space on the sides, but I guess that is what I can expect when ordering a Mucha panel poster. The poster looks great with my wall collage of photographs and posters.

I still can't believe how cheap this was for the quality of the piece. The print is 24x36 and every detail is there. My only complaint is that the paper is thin, but that's to be expected at the price.

Unfortunately, my frame's glass broke while trying to put the print in so we don't have it hung up yet.
